Find A Way To Get To The SpaA spa visit may seem like a luxury too extravagant for you to splurge on yourself when you have more important bills to pay. And I can relate.

These days I rarely have extra money to use at the spa.

But, if you have a friend or family member who is looking for a gift idea for you, I’d suggest heavily hinting how much you’d LOVE a spa visit.

Another way a loved one can gift you a spa trip is through WaySpa.com, which is how the folks at HP treated me.

I love how it is a fully functional laptop but still super light and easy to toss in my bag.
